My Border Collie/Lab Mix (78 pounds) had large(size of a quarter!), itchy red bumps on his back that the vet had treated with two rounds of oral antibiotics and steroids, only to return each time. She suggested expensive testing. After reading many reviews on 1-800-PetMeds, I decided to try the combination of: Proanthozone Antioxidant 50mg, Yucca Intensive Anti-Inflammatory, Super Pure Omega 3 Soft Gel Caps and 1-800-PetMeds Be Soothed 12oz Spray. He absolutely did not like when I sprayed the Be Soothed on him, after about two weeks, I came to the conclusion that this was very irritating to him and making the spots worse, so I stopped using it. When I tapered the dose of the Proanthozone, the little bit of improvement that I had seen, ceased, so I went back to the higher dose of 3 every day and that is when everything started to show great improvement! It took about 4 weeks, but they are finally starting to dry out and heal, so I am reordering the Proanthozone, Yucca Intensive and Super Pure Omega. I do have to mix all of this in with a little bit of wet food or chicken broth and dry food. Unlike others, my dog does not think any of these are treats!
PROANTHOZONE: This is a product that is especially dear to my heart as it was one of the first effective products I used back in the mid 1990s that convinced me of the value of complimentary and alternative medicine supplements and products. This powerful antioxidant which is 20 to 50 times as powerful as vitamins E and C in its antioxidant activity has a wide variety of uses in everyday veterinary medicine for both dogs and cats. The most common place I have used this versatile product is in stiff or arthritic dogs and cats. Its wonderful antioxidant and anti inflammatory effects, as well as its effect on enhancing collagen production in the body (which is the main glue of our connective tissue and joints), has been a tremendous benefit in both treating and preventing stiffness and arthritis in my practice. When combined with an excellent glucosamine product like super joint enhancer from 1800petmeds, in addition to omega 3 fatty acids added to meals, I have seen amazing clinical effects on stiff or arthritic pets, often minimizing how much conventional prescription nonsteroidal anti inflammatory medication I need to use, which thus cuts down on risks and side effects to the dog or cat. Because of its antioxidant and anti inflammatory effect, I have found proanthozone also to be useful in a plethora of other conditions, including skin allergies, blood and blood vessel disorders, and other inflammatory diseases in the body including liver disease and pancreatitis just to name a few conditions. I highly recommend and endorse this product for any pet, especially the aging dog or cat, where damaging chemicals called free radicals are produced in their bodies leading to degenerative disease of any organ system, which proanthozone can help prevent, along with a good natural diet. I find very little downside to this product, except for perhaps the expense in a larger breed of dog, but to me the preventative benefits are well worth it.
My overall rating of this product is a 5. Its effectiveness is a 4.5, and its ease of use is a 4. As with any product that comes in a capsule form, I have occasionally found it difficult to administer to cats, but many will often take it mixed in with their food.
Intermittent means Proanthozone can be given only as needed. Supplemental feeding means this is not a drug, but it can be given each and every days as long as it is needed.
For both of your pets I would recommend using Proanthozone 20. You would give each pet 2 capsules once a day for 5 days as a starting dose, then 1 capsule once a day as maintenance.
It's the skin of the grape that makes grapes something dogs shouldn't ingest. Grape seed doesn't contain grape skin, so it's safe. I just asked this same question of my vet.
